Richms, we also have the ones in your link and they do only work with thicker strands like mains TPE wiring, not fine strands, because you have to push the wire into the contact. The ones I've linked however do not work the same, they have a lever you lift, insert the wire, then drop the lever. They are awesome even on fine strands, which is where we use them. To remove, lift the level and pull out. It is a ZIF connector (zero insertion force).
Those look quite different to the ones I have used. I did see there were some others with a lever to open them up to remove the wire, That might work a lot better with stranded than the ones I have which are basically like a lego block on the bottom that wires go into.
Narva do a fuse block with positive and negative bus-bars built in and a cover over everything. About $50 at any Auto-electrical store. They used crimped ring terminals. Too easy.
I dont really like ring terminals, dropped screws and all that. I already have the fuse block for the positives, and as I will have mixed voltages the built in commoning of the positive side isnt going to suit.
I ended up cutting it into 3, 2 bars that would take 6 wires each, and 1 where the bolt is. I mounted it inside a plastic case to keep it tidy/shielded.
Im pretty sure I still have one of the 6 left if you want me to send it to you.
I don't really want screw terminals but thanks for the offer. It's just to common up all the negatives of things in a tidy way that I can add to it change as it evolves.
